MOSCOW, May 21. Former football player of Zenit and the Russian national team Andrey Arshavin spoke about the coldest match of his career. «The coldest match I played was in Murmansk. I was 15-16 years old. We played most likely in February, because the selection in the North-West zone was held in January and February. I'm still in Vologda I played where it was cold, we played in felt boots. And here, in Murmansk, at minus 30, when our goalkeeper could not kick the ball out of the penalty area. We won 3-0 at home, but here we lost 2-0 and went out. This is the coldest match I was replaced after the first half. I just put the battery in. By the end of the game, my fingers went away, thank God, I didn’t freeze them, ”Arshavin quotes the Championship. Arshavin also remembered that during that trip in Murmansk he was impressed by a large ship . The football player compared the height of the ship with a nine-story building. Andrey Arshavin ended his career in 2018. He played for Zenit, London's Arsenal, Kuban and Kairat. Arshavin is a three-time champion of Russia, winner of the UEFA Cup and bronze medalist of the European Championship.
